COMBINATION RADIO IfHONOGRAPH CABINET.

Application led June 24,'

My invention relates to combination radio and phonograph cabinets.

The objects are to provide a cabinet which iwilly house radio and phonograph appara-- tus; in which accessto the parts may be readily had, and in which a common horn serves to `amplify the sounds coming from either the radio -or phonograph recording apparatus.

These obiects, and other advantageous ends which will be` described hereinafter, Ivattain in the following manner, reference being had to theaccompanying drawin in which- 1s\ gure 1 is a front Aelevation of a cabinet constructed in accordance with my invention i Figure 2 a' section substantially on line 2-2 of Figure 1, the radio sound producer connection to the horn and the rear of the cabinet to the right of line 2-2 being shown in section, 1

Figure 3 a section on line 3*-3 of Figure 1,

Figure 4 a fragmentary section on line 4-4 of F-igure 2, and

'Figure 5 a perspective view of the amplifying horn with certain parts omitted. v Referring to the drawings, .1 indicates a casing of any suitable design having a sound opening 2. A. partition 3 is secured in the vwardly therefro l7'sli' able in the casing on guides 18v under casing adjacent its top. A horn 4 is secured to the partition and to the casing around the opening, and consists of a conduit 5 split longitudinally into sections, and an amplifying part 6 secured to lthe conduit. The upper end of the conduit is provided with a pair of nipples 7 which.' pass through partition 3, a shoulder 8 which abuts the ottom of the partition and anges 9 at opposite sides of the nipplesby which the conduit may be 'secured-'to the partition. The' main passage of the conduit has a pair of branch passa s 10 and 11 diverging upt, lPhonograph apparatus 12 is mounted on he partition 3 and hasI its sound box 13 connected with branch passage 10 by the tone arm 14. -Radio receiving ap.- paratus 15 has its s'oundproducing unit 16 connected to branclf passage 11. Radio receivi'n apparatus 15 is mounted on a drawer partition 3. The bottom of the drawer is providedi with a cut-out' part 19 through which conduit depends. "Theamplifying ypart 6H consists of four thin Haring walls 1524. serial No.' 721,969.

secured to each other, to the lower end of conduit 5 as shown at 2O and to the casing around opening 2 as shown at 2l. The `rear of the casing is provided with doors 22 which afford access to the interior,` of the casing. A compartment 23 is preferably provided under opening 2 for keeping records or other articles.

By pulling drawer 17 out into the dotand-dash line position shown 'in Figure 2 or radio apparatus may' be operated to produce sounds Without interference from either apparatus. Batteries4 and other accessories required for a radio receiving apparatus may be mounted on the drawer and removed from the cabinet with the drawer as a unit.

While I have described my invention as taking a particular form, it will be understood that the various parts may be changed without departing from the spirit thereof, and hence. I do not limit myself to the precise construction setforth, but consider that I am at liberty to 'make such changes and alterations as fairl come within the scope of the appended c aims.

Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new` and desire -to secureby Letters Patent is 1. In a cabinet provided with a casing having an opening and a partition in the upper. part of the casing; a horn supporting conduit 'secured to the under side of the partition and depending'downwardly` and having apair offupwardly diverging passages leading to its upper end adapted to be connected with sound rie-producing means, and a. horn part connected to the casing around the opening and to the lower endof the conduit and -communicating with the passages. 2. In a cabinet provided with [a casing having an opening and a partition in the 'Y upperpart o f the casing; a li'oin supporting conduit having a pair of nipples passingy through the'partition, and a shou der .abutting the under side of the partiti n for seopening door 22, access to the parts may be readily had. Either the phonograph or` curing the conduit thereto, the conduit havl ing a'pair of upwardly diver-ging. passages through th:` nipples, anda horn partsecured to the casing around the opening and to .-tlie lower end of the conduitand communieating with the passages.

3. In a cab net provided with a casing having an opening and a partition 'in the upper part of the casing; a hornsupporting conduit havingl a pair of nipples at its up# split:V longitudinally from the point of d- `per end passing through the partition, a vergence to the lower end, and a hon part shoulder Yabufting the partition and palr secured to the lower end of the conduit and l0 of anges aia-opposite sides of the nipples- `to the casing around the opening.
